«Völkerfreundschaft» and contract workers were meant to render racism and xenophobia taboo in the GDR’s public, politically directed discourse. But what was it actually like to grow up in the GDR and post-reunification Germany for those East Germans whose families have roots in Africa? Tupoka Ogette and Don Pablo Mulemba share their personal experiences and memories and discuss the ruptures that shaped their childhoods and adolescences in Saxony and Brandenburg.
With Don Pablo Mulemba, Tupoka Ogette
Moderated by Nine-Christine Müller
The event will be held in German.
